Multiple Wireless Networks
This may be of interest to Skip and others playing with wireless.
Microsoft is developing a new technology called "Virtual Wi-Fi". It virtualizes a single wireless card to appear to the user as multiple cards. Benefits cited: # With VirtualWiFi, you can connect to a guest's machine or play games over an ad hoc network, while surfing the web via an infrastructure network. # You can use VirtualWiFi to connect your ad hoc network, which may contain many nodes, to the Internet using only one node. # VirtualWiFi can help make your home infrastructure network elastic by extending its access to nodes that are out of range of your home WiFi Access Point. I don't know much more than that, but you can get a little more info at http://research.microsoft.com/netres...fi/default.htm It looks rather experimental at this point. I don't have a spare machine to install it on right now, so I'd be interested in reports from anyone that plays with it. __________________________________________________ __________ Glen "Wiley" Wilson usenet1 SPAMNIX at world wide wiley dot com To reply, lose the capitals and do the obvious.
